Refs had to keep the Avs from destroying their own tank, but we finally locked up a top 3 pick. One of Jones, MacKinnon, Drouin or Barkov (because Avs do Avs things), will be in Burgundy and Blue next season!

So apparently Drouin grew dreaming of skating on Sakic or Foppa's wing to...now we just need stories of how MacKinnon grew up emulating Foppa and Drury and we'll have the whole set!

I guess he thought they were both going to play into their mid 60's?

Seriously? That would be so awesome, I still don't believe it, and we'll probably just hire somebody as equally underqualified, but at least Sacco's gone! Locked up a top 3 pick, lost sacco, next thing you know we're gunna get rid of Zanon and pay Scuderi all of the money for a couple years to each our kids how to defense.

My reactions to this news in gif form
At first I was all

But then I realized it was true and then I was all

But then for a second I thought I might miss Sacco doing Sacco things:

Boston will win. The East can't go that long without a Pittsburgh-Ottawa series. We're already getting Caps-Rangers for, what, the 4th time in 5 years? If only these series were actually rivalries. That's why you have to hope for Leafs and Habs.

Lottery tonight, hoping the Hockey Gods reward Sherman for finally getting approval to fire Joe Sacco's ass and we get Seth, but Drouin or Mac would make our forward core insane to so I'm not really worried cause even the worst case scenario would make me happy.

So you're saying Buffalo should win the lottery and make your decision easy?

I wonder if Max can give us any insight from the U18 tournament that just wrapped up, especially with Russia having a decent run with some high scorers. Also, Nicushkin.

Nichushkin is extremely talented. His size, skating and skills combination is definitely elite. But I wonder if his play-making ability will ever develop enough for him to be a top notch scorer.

Still, even with Russian factor, there is no way this guy falls out of 1st round. Someone will fall in love with his upside.

After him, there is Buchnevich. Now, he could be a steal. I personally think he is a first round talent, but he isn't on anyone's top 30 list.

It's a classic case of a player who is already in NA (Valentin Zykov) vs. a guy who is playing overseas (Buchnevich). Personally, I think Buchnevich is better, but I'm pretty sure Zykov will go higher.

Also also, Connor McDavid lol the world is not ready

Easier if we just win it and get Seth, and then you trade us Vanek so that each of our centers has a perfect winger for him, Dutchy gets Pap, Radar gets Landy and Staz gets Vanek, slot in McGinn, Downie and Jones on the opposite wings and we'll be making the playoffs, for sure.
